I Get a Kick Out of Some People Who Read My Email Newsletters....i

[cmdtrgd]

I get a kick out of some people who read my email newsletters....I sent one out yesterday titled "Help Whip Cancer, Help Save Lives" and did not expect anyone to opt out. I did have 4 opt out and I didn't recognize their email addresses (basically they were just on my list, not repeat customers). I totally got a kick out of the fact that one of the ones who opted out kept looking at the email after s/he opted out! Wouldn't it be something you just send to the trash?!? How funny!

That is funny Kate! How do you know she kept reading? Do you beling to a service?

Did you get a hold of that lead I sent ya?

Kristi - I use ConstantContact.com which tracks opens and links. It is really funny to see people who open the email 20-30 times! Those are the ones I make sure to follow up with a call in a day or two.I emailed the lead yesterday and have not heard back.

I send my team a weekly e-mail using constant contact and I can see who opens it. I keep consultants on for a year after they go inactive and what's funny is they are the ones who look at it the most! I contacted them and asked them if they were interested in getting started again and they said no, but somewhere they are still interested or they would trash it! Sometimes I just can't figure people out!

Yeah, that's my problem too. I have TONS of email addresses. I've weeded a lot of the bad ones out, but I still have a ton and this is why I haven't done constant contact, although I'd love to! I'd love to know those stats.

It IS weird why some people continue to look at them! I had someone request to be removed from my email list last month right after she placed an order on my website! Weird. Hopefully she's keeping my website in her favorites or something.

Becky - have you thought of doing a "Special Customer" newsletter for those who are repeat hosts or make repeat orders throughout the year? That might allow you to try out Constant Contact without breaking the bank.Or, on the other hand, you could put those you haven't heard from in a while in your 100 free contacts and see if they do open the emails. If they don't, then contact them to see if they are still interested.That might be tons of work, but it could help.
